ADMIT TO 'HANGOVER OF CONSERVATISM' Design For Living Leaves Women Pleased But Puzzled By NAOMI LANG Men taking their wives to see Community Art Council's Design for Living exhibit, had better remember the old hat trick. A new chapeau for milady, as so many of them all too well know, almost inevitably means a new dress, coat, shoes and bag to "go with it." They should be warned that women looking at the Art Gallery exhibit were making just the same kind of noises. "It's perfectly lovely," was a' typical comment on the modernistic furniture, "but I don't quite know how I'd make it harmonize with the things I've got." "You'd really need a new house--and then you could start from scratch!" one woman suggested triumphantly. JUST WONDERING In general, the effort to show how houses should be designed to suit the individual needs of their occupants, and how B.C. materials and crafts can be utilized in creative homemaking, received spirit of "Just wondering, thanks."

Lesile also thought it would be "difficult to combine these new things with what you already have perhaps it can be done, and I'm just not clever enough to do it." "I just don't know." she mused, "if that bleached wood would go with my Oriental carpet. "It's all very interesting, but I can't quite make up my mind about it," said Mrs. Fowler, who admitted to a "hangover of conservatism." "Terribly interested in all these new trends," Mrs. R. M.

Stewart still "just wondering. I'm just seeing if I can get used to it." With three small children, Marilyn, 8, Rosalee, 6, and David, 3, Mrs. Russell Beach of New Westminster was greatly taken with the idea of making houses incorporate the hobbies of their occupants. "Some of these things I'd much like to have, and others I simply wouldn't give house room to," she said. "But it's all very interesting, and since we're planning to build, ourselves, I can certainly use these She liked the simple, cleanlined furniture.

"This bleached furniture wouldn't fit in those big old houses with their dark wood. It would be lovely though in a rumpus room, or a summer place." Jean, whose home is in Vancouver, Washington, was "thrilled to death" everything. "My parents are building a new home," she said, "so I'm particularly interested in these new ideas."
